Magical tour - This was an excellent adventure. Our guide Antonio was superb at explaining the history and meaning of buildings and religious objects. He shared his genuine love for the ancient peoples . His knowledge was extensive. The tour van arrived on time to our hotel and returned us when the tour was finished. Very comfortable traveling to and from. We would consider taking another tour when we return at some future date. Thanks for memorable experience.

Great experience and highly recommend - I was a little worried about a half day trip, inferior that it wasn't going to be enough time at Monte Albán. After having gone through it with our tour guide Daniel, this was just enough time to see Monte Albán.

Not many English speakers - I booked this tour because it’s one of the few half day trips to Monte Albán. No one in my group spoke English so I was told by the tour guide to go with another group, still that group was bilingual and I don’t really think I got that much out of the experience

Not happy - Unfortunately I wasn’t informed that the road was being worked on when I booked the trip. I was sent a message the night before the trip that road was close that made it to late to cancel the trip we had to walk or basically hike for 30 minutes, by the time we reached the destination we where so tired to even enjoy Montel ban.In total it was 7 of us, 1 including a senior citizen and 2 small children.
